Microsoft HoloLens User Manual

Pinch
The Air Tap allows the user to do a single click on an object by tapping their finger down and
then back up. If the finger is not raised back up, but rather held in a pinching position, the user
can grab hold of things in the space. While pinching, move your hand around to adjust the
hologram. Below, you can see that a Pinch mixed with moving the hand up and down can be
used to scroll through a menu.
Bloom
The Bloom gesture is accomplished by opening a closed fist in front of the device. This is used
as a “go home” button. When in an application, the Bloom gesture will take you back out of it.
When nothing is running the bloom gesture will open the Windows home screen.
